Haha, we wish. Last year, Dumpstafunk was great, but it is almost always some folksy / Americana group like Mumford or someone.

It seems to me that it's usually someone funky with a New Orleans connection. The last couple of years there's been a Neville included. I also remember Rebirth Brass Band and Henry Butler. There was also a Duo show years ago (2005?) that I missed (I arrived too late).

I did not go in 2005, so I don't know, but you are right on the NO connection. It usually is not my taste, but the crowd and scene is always good, and I inevitably have a good time. Not many other places at roo can you just walk right up to a rail and watch the band play about 2 feet away.

You also have Araabmuzik, Ariel Pink, Deap Valley, and Django Django playing right in the middle of the party. All bands I wanted to see. If it is not a decent band, this may be the first year I completely skip it.

He's my brother, She's my sister would work, but don't know if they're a big enough name? Might not matter since the party crowd will be much smaller since Thursday has some good acts drawing people into Centeroo this year

Alrighty. Acts I cannot miss are Milo Greene ( ending at 5:30) and Django Django (starting at 9)There's lots inbetween that I don't want to miss, but its all going to depend on how much I get into certain acts between now and Roo, who is playing the VIP party, and how I'm feeling at the time. It's not gonna be too hard to twist my arm one way or another.

There's a band that would be great as the VIP party, that the timing works out for on the schedule, that's big enough and would work really well. But I don't want to say it for fear or junxing it. *cough TRIANGLE cough*

Doesn't really fit the themes of years past IMO, if we are indeed both talking about ?. I'd bet on something more like Trombone Shorty or Sea Wolf or, in the brightest (however still unlikely) timeline, Jim James.

But in all likeliness, I'll be skipping for the first time to see the Bammer and HAIM anyway.

They did start serving food earlier last year...I think it was about 5:30-6...my plan is to go to 21 Pilots, come eat, go to Walk the Moon, then come back to the party depending on the act. But I gotta support my Ohio boys!

That's probably my plan, too. I'm from Columbus, and I've heard a lot of good things about their live shows.
